Cacaopod & I lived in the Inner Richmond district for 11 years, and it was pretty sweet: sandwiched between Golden Gate Park and the Presidio, 3 beautiful beaches within walking distance, easy transit to downtown, and half a block from the See\u2019s Candies<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0shop and all that Clement St. has to offer.<\/p>\n

But now we\u00a0live a 2-hour walk\/transit ride from the old neighborhood and only make it there 2x a year to see the dentist \u2014 and for the past 2 years, to visit Mindy Fong and her\u00a0Jade Chocolates\u2019<\/strong><\/a> shop, conveniently located at the 6th & Geary bus stop.<\/p>\n

On\u00a0our\u00a0last visit (no cavities!), we stopped by Jade to see what\u2019s new and get some fresh chocolates. After checking out Mindy\u2019s\u00a0latest truffles\u00a0and\u00a0tiles, we spied a group of nature-themed blank\u00a0cards. Like Jades\u2019 chocolates, they have an Asian flavor; for example, the card I bought has an illustration of bamboo on the cover.<\/p>\n

When we inquired about the artist, Mindy told us that she is the artist, using stamps like the ones she uses to decorate her chocolates.<\/p>\n

This seems like a great complementary line for her chocolate art \u2014 if you are giving Jades Chocolates as a gift, now you can buy coordinating gift cards. And since the cards are blank, you can also use them for lots of other\u00a0occasions.<\/p>\n

They might not be tasty like Jade truffles, but they are still pretty sweet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
